TOLDO TOPS EURO KEEPER POLL

The Italian custodian picked up a massive 32% of the vote - with almost a third of you deciding that the Azzurri keeper has emerged from the shadows of injured first choice Gianluigi Buffon to forge a reputation as one of the most reliable shot-stoppers in Europe.

Second place saw Manchester United's new signing Fabien Barthez pick up 20% - with many of those forgiving a rush of blood that led to an unfortunate last minute penalty that could have sent France into extra time against Spain, but for Raul's inaccuracy.

Rustu Recber has had an outstanding championships for Turkey and distanced himself from the 'dodgy keeper' tag that had accompanied him into his nation's first match against Italy - and he took third place with 16% of the vote

Narrowly behind Recber was Edwin van der Sar with 15% - as the veteran Juventus keeper battled against injury to keep his place between the Dutch goalposts.

Everton's departing keeper Thomas Myhre picked up a very credible 12%, with only Vitor Baia gaining less than tenth of the vote with 6% of the 1325 votes cast.

Toldo will be put through to our readers team of the tournament with all of the other positions coming up in the next few days for your appraisal in our planetfootball.com polls.
